The stunning views are a match for the food at Ristorante Sostaga, where classic Italian dishes are prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Specialities include lake fish such as grilled swordfish, perch served with capers and black olives, and fresh prawns. Start with a glass of prosecco, then choose a bottle of Bardolino wine from the excellent cellar.

See & Do
See & DoHit the walking trails encircling Lake Garda for heart-stopping views and a glimpse of local wildlife. Go windsurfing, jet skiing, paragliding or sailing on the lake, or get booted up and go riding.
For a lazier afternoon, hop aboard a steamer to chug around the lake (it will take you full circle), stopping to explore pretty spots like Sirmione, with its cypress-lined shoreline walks. From Malcesine, you can take a cable car from here up the steep slopes of Monte Baldo, with its brilliant flowers and sweeping views. If you want to head further afield, the cities of Mantua and Brescia are well within reach.
